No Robinsons on the Mayflower, but Reverend John Robinson Sent Many Pilgrims

Nadene Goldfoot

My grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson, was told that his ancestors came over NOT on the Mayflower, but the ship after that. Was he talking about a Robinson ancestor? It could be that he heard about Reverend John Robinson who lived in Holland and was the instigator that sent the Pilgrims living there on the Mayflower to the New World. He never got there, but his son, Isaac, did.

One thing I have found is that my Robinson family had married into THE ROBINSON FAMILY OF JOHN ROBINSON, OF HOLLAND WHO SENT THE PILGRIMS ONTO THE MAYFLOWER. So we are indirectly connected.

Birth: Isaac Robinson was born about 1610 in Leiden.
Death: He died in Barnstable in 1704.
Ship: Unknown, 1631. The ship that came in 1621 was the Fortune and there were no Robinsons listed. Isaac came over to Plymouth between 22 May 1627 to 27 March 1634. The date was thought to be 1631 and married Margaret Hanford. The ships that came over in 1631 were: It was said to be the Lyon.

Life in Holland: Isaac Robinson, one of nine children, was
born in Leiden to Reverend John and Bridget (White)
Robinson. His father was the pastor of the English reformed
church there. The family lived in Groenepoort near the St.
Peter’s Church. Rev. Robinson died in 1625, but his widow and
children remained in Leiden. Isaac was the only one to emigrate
to New England.

Another source said he came in the Winthrop fleet, that I believe came 10 years later. "Issac, Plymouth 1630, son of blessed John, the apostle of Leyden, come probably with his mother in the fleet with Winthrop.Descendants of JOHN (Rev.) Robinson1 JOHN (Rev.)

Our Robinson line's Y haplogroup is R1b1a2a1a1b4, which is now called as an R-L21. The DYS #393 is 12 instead of 13. This denotes more matches with the Irish than English people. Our oral history was that his line came from Wales. He may have been very confused as he had run away from home as a teenager and had never returned over an argument with his father, Abiather over his horse that was gored by a bull in the field. Abiathar wouldn't let him move it out as it was the Sabbath. I have not found that this group has had many dna tests, but the few that have not carried the very same haplotype, though they also are R1. It's the allele of 393 that differs, theirs being a 13 and ours a 12. We've tested with Family Tree DNA and also have the results with GedMatch.com. I haven't come across but one match which has also had the 67 allele test that is a haplotype match, but not a personal match. Now I find that a DNA match of my Robinson cousin also has a tree, and his tree shows a John Robinson born in 1580 in Meppershall, England who was married to Katherine Eaden. They had a son, John Robinson, born on February 9, 1611 in Meppershall who married Elizabeth Trickely in Haverhill, Massachusetts. They had a son, John Robinson born in 1640 in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He married Dorothy Perkins. They were different. Their son was named Jacob Robinson. Isaac Robinson: from genie.com.

Another Mayflower Passenger on Robinson Tree

Sandy Wall

Thanks to cousin Sandy Wall, descendant of my grandfather, Frank Hugh Robinson's sister, Nellie McCollum nee Robinson, who found this connection, we now know 2 different passengers on the Mayflower who are on our Robinson Tree. This 2nd one was Stephen Hopkins.

This is through Julia Ann Tuller who was married to our ggrandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson again.

Asenith's father was Heman Durkee.1 HEMAN DURKEE, Jr.b: October 21, 1789 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermontd: January 09, 1865 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont, age 76
..+Rebecca Hatchb: June 12, 1791 in Sharon, Windsor County, Vermontd: June 07, 1872 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont, age 81

Heman's father was also Heman Durkee, a Colonel.1 [1] HEMAN Herman Durkee, Col.b: June 17, 1759 in Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticutd: October 05, 1797 in Royalton, Windsor County, Vermont, age 38

Julia Ann Tuller was Stephen Hopkins' 7th great granddaughter!!, and she is my ggrandmother. I am Stephen's 10th great granddaughter. Oh my!! My son is his 11th great grandson and my grandson is his 12th great grandson!!. All this in only the past 435 years!

b: 1581, d:1644: Stephen Hopkins was a passenger on the Mayflower in 1620, one of forty-one signatories of the Mayflower Compact, and an assistant to the governor of Plymouth Colony through 1636. Wikipedia

Richard Warren of Mayflower on Robinson Tree

Nadene Goldfoot

Thanks to finding cousin Sandra Wall, I find that we have another connection to an ancestor that was a passenger on the ship, The Mayflower. My first knowledge of such a connection was that we were connected to Richard Warren, who was the 13th signer of their Mayflower Compact. All these connections go back to our great grandmother, Julia Ann Tuller b: 1834 who was the wife of ggrandfather Abiathar Smith Robinson and our ggrandmother.
It goes this way. Julia Ann Tuller was the 1st cousin 3 times removed of Reverend Martin Tuller
Descendants of MARTIN Tuller, Reverend. I'll show how we arrive to Martin Tuller at the end.1 [1] MARTIN Tuller, Reverendb: May 30, 1753 in Egremont, Berks,Mass. Bay Province, Massachusettsd: October 01, 1813 in Royalton, Windsor, Vermont

.....+Asa Holmesb: March 22, 1754I am the 9th great granddaughter of Richard Warren who was born in 1578. My children are his 10th great grandchildren. My grandson is Richard's 11th great grandson.9 generations ago, I had 512 ancestors, 256 female and 256 male. That takes me most likely to the year 1791. I have to go back further than 10 generations ago when I had 1,024 ancestors of which 512 were femaleand 512 were males. This would only take me back to the year 1766.

About Me

I'm the American Nadene Goldfoot. Another lives in England. I'm the one who went to Israel and lived there from 1980 to the end of 1985. I'm an amateur genealogist for our family who also has expanded interests into dna. I now spend my time writing in my 3 blogs teaching about Israel and defending her position.

On my tree I have found Rabbi Samson Wertheimer, RASHI, and King David through DNA testing. Another branch holds the kings and queens of England by genealogy. When current events become deplorable, I turn to this hobby for a lift. It's all whetted my appetite for ancient history of Israel.
